The download count doesn't matter. It's individual website access log counts that matter. If FF is over 20%, the devs might stop using "IE only" tricks.
It's a trailer, move it down the road. Hey, tornado zone ends over there! We're movin! No, instead they cluster up. I suppose the reason this person posted anon is because they new it was an illogical statement. Trailer homes don't move (they're not RVs), and there's no such thing as a "Tornado Zone". Cluster up? Tornadoes aren't really drawn to trailer parks; they just get damaged easier.
Yes, but there is one small problem... We never declared war. Technically, we never declared peace from the Gulf War, and Saddam kept shooting at our fighter jets. No war declaration needed.
I hope their servers can take the load. The load? I'm sorry, but between Scientologists and U.S. Special Forces, I'd rather leak Scientology material. Wikileaks just earned legitimate interest from several three-letter agencies. There are going to be spies from many countries trying to find out how Wikileaks got this document (to prevent or encourage more leaks). Some of the countries will be less pleasant in their methods than others and despite the nature of this document, I don't think the U.S. is at the top of that list.
The signal swung wildly between full strength and no signal at all, regardless of where I placed the adapter. Where they using rotating directional antennas?
... double click and it installs either way. You'd like to go double click on all 4000 workstations and 3000 (worldwide) laptops in some organizations? In environments that size, homogeneous software rollouts on heterogeneous hardware with multiple OSes, having a filetype your software delivery program understands is helpful.
Replying to self. OMG, just read bug #403159.:
I totally understand your use case, and why this change makes that task
considerably more difficult. However, I'm pushing for this change based on the
notion that all of the various people who have told me that Firefox is their
favorite search engine don't scan a list of URLs, nor do they make a navigation
decision based on the URL itself.
Essentially what we are debating here is a fundamental change in what the
location bar is for, from purely a widget for directly entering URLs, to being
a local search engine for content you have seen on the Web (which happens to
also display URLs). The developers' position is that Firefox should be morphed into a search engine. I thought the point of Firefox was to remove bloat and applications that don't belong in browsers. Otherwise, we'd still be using vanilla Mozilla. It almost seems like this dev thinks every browser should be its own spider and archive.org.
The ability to chose your own search results style was removed by the Mozilla developers as part of bug #407836. They're illogical viewpoint is explained in bug #403159. [...] The sheer number of articles attempting to help people disable the "awesome bar" should make the developers realize that this is not a "feature" that everyone wants. It just means I'll skip FF3. FF2 will last for a long while. If they stop patching FF2, at least I know IE7 gets patches and doesn't have an "Awesome" bar, so I'll fire up my windows VM to surf the web at that point. Hmm, anyone know if IceWeasel will include awesome bar choice? I might switch to the Weeezzul.
No one speaks it natively, so what words might mean is of little practical value. You are so off target. Just as certain trekkies try to teach their children Klingon from birth, there have been two experiments by Francophiles to teach children French. Louisiana was one, but it failed when the U.S. bought the Louisiana purchase from the Japanese. Quebec is the other, and it has actually worked to the point of many "French" Canadians moving to the southern portion of the German state of Belgium and making a fake country. Now everyone in Belgium speaks French, and only 1/15 of Belgium is considered Belgium today.
Catch-22. Your boss will not respect your position until there is a major problem with the systems. Once there is a major problem with the systems, you will be fired, and the new guy who fixes the problems will be seen a savior.
Solution? Try and outline all the things that can possibly be going wrong; all the script kiddies hitting the firewall for naught, all the times the servers might have been brought down by bugs you patched, etc. Problem? Now you've spent a lot of time and resources twiddling your thumbs (from a management point of view). Catch-22.
There's lots of waste energy out there, if you can tap into it [...] I've been wondering about that for a long time. If you take a big heat pump with a Heating Performance Factor near 10 (that's 10x energy moved for energy spent), could one use it to heat water to boiling, thereby powering a steam turbine (with a net efficiency of ~48%)? The heat comes from the atmosphere (which in turn is from the sun), so no "creation" of energy. If another boiling material were used, like alcohol, would that make it work better? How much electrical energy would the turbine produce and the HP use? Unfortunately I lack the physics-memory for the state-transfer energy costs.

What's more, products that embraced DRM have recently been annoying the techno-muggles. Watching NBC on Windows Media Center? Not when the broadcast flag is on, you're not. Bought music with "Plays for Sure"? It surely won't play when they pull the phone-home servers.
What the hell are you talking about: Evolution versus evolution? Big "E" Evolution is the belief that current biodiversity is the result of little "e" evolution, which is [survival of the fittest + mutation]. Creationists (especially young Earth creationists) draw a distinction between the two because they acknowledge that mutations and the process of evolution (little "e") exist; humanity has known about it since humans selectively bred dogs and crops.
Oh, my gosh! I'll have to slow down and stop and wait to cross? That's so much harder for a 250-pound object going 15mph than it is for a 4000-lbs object going 40mph. I don't think I can do that. As a friend of mine once said: "Pedestrians are more maneuverable than my jeep, if they want to jaywalk, that's their business, but they shouldn't expect me to stop on a dime."
When a car pulls up to a main road out of a subdivision or at an intersection they will often pull forward well into the path of the sidewalk/crosswalk so that they can see to make the turn. At any decent speed it would be difficult to stop in time to avoid t-boning the car that pulls out in front of you. Which is why anyone on a sidewalk should follow pedestrian rules: slow down, stop, look both ways, then cross. I've had idiots on bicycles pull out in front of me (from a side road) close enough that I had to slam on the brakes, and one guy almost got his rear tire clipped. I've also had a jogger do the same thing from a sidewalk when I had the green. Bicyclists tend to think they're in the big leagues, but they don't follow any rules. Bicycles are much closer in mass and velocity to a jogger than they are to a car going (a legal) 40mph, so the rules of the road should reflect that so that cyclists learn from an early age: Car==Danger.
If golf carts aren't street legal and have to ride on sidewalks, bikes shouldn't be street legal either.

I used to screw up your workstation in the middle of the night. Now I maintain servers during the middle of the day and no one notices. ;-D

They used TnG too, so Yellow canceled the Red.
